Today, I awoke at two in the morning to my cat putting his most recent kill on my chest. When I jumped up screaming, the dead mouse went flying and now my husband and I can't find it. Better yet, now both my husband and my cat are giving me the silent treatment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my cat attempted to make up for my insomnia with a dead mouse. I have no idea where he got it. FML
Today, while spring cleaning, my cat came into the kitchen with a live mouse in her mouth. She looked me dead in the eyes and dropped the mouse, which then ran into my bedroom. It's been 4 hours and I still can't find it. Where's the cat? Chilling like nothing happened. FML
Today, I woke up to my cat slowly dragging her paw across my face. I opened my eyes to see a bloody mouse dangling an inch from my face. It was still twitching. FML
Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML
Today, I woke up to what sounded like twigs snapping. Turns out it was the skull of a live mouse being crushed in my cat's jaws. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, I was having a romantic dinner at home with my girlfriend. Everything was perfect—candles, wine, the whole shebang. As we sat down, I felt something moving under the table. I thought it was her playing footsie. Nope, it was our cat with a very live, very tetchy mouse he'd just caught. Cue the screaming and wine spilling everywhere. FML
Today, after my husband got ready for work, he touched my arm and slowly bent down. I assumed he was going to say he loved me and to have a good day. As I quickly thought of a loving response and prepared to give him a kiss, he whispered in my ear, "Did you put a dead mouse in the toilet?" Thanks a lot, cat. FML
Today, my cat started screaming nonstop outside my bedroom. She's never done this since she was last in heat (she's 7 1/2 years old), so I was worried. I opened the door to find that she had "killed' a mouse (a fake one, formerly attached to her cat tree) and was very proud of herself. That's cute, but… really? FML
Today, around 2:00 a.m. I had just sat down on my couch when I noticed one of my cats poking at what appeared to be a toy. I attempted to pick it up to play with the cat when it started to move like a mouse. I squealed like a girl and woke up my wife upstairs. I'm a 26-year-old man. FML

Why is your husband giving you the silent treatment? Also if you don't find it soon, you'll be sure to find it once it starts stinking!

My cat gives me the silent treatment most days anyway, I honestly wouldn't notice the difference.

Your cat probably found it and gave it to someone a little more grateful - ydi

If your husband is giving you the silent treatment over that, he still has a lot of growing up to do.

Cats are evil. It is known

I guess it wasn't a dead mouse afterall, just playing dead until it was free to escape.

Let me clarify, my husband had to wake up early for work the next morning and he was upset with me for waking him with my screams and by jumping all over the bed. He was also upset that I made him stay up for the next hour to search for it. I finally found it under my dresser the next day when my cat was scratching under it frantically trying to get it. Also my cat is an indoor cat as we live by a main road so he must have discovered his prize in the house. My cat is Siamese and very vocal when he wants attention, which is always. So when I said he was giving me the silent treatment I meant that he won't let me pet him, avoids eye contact with the exception of a death glare and was considerably more quite.

Are you sure your husband wasn't just upset that the cat choose you over him?

My cat is a terrible hunter. She tried to hunt a rabbit yesterday and didn't even come close. She acts like she's not interested as she sneaks closer....like the rabbit wouldn't run when she got close enough...silly kitty.

@22 I would recommend not letting your cat hunt a rabbit if you can help it. A rabbit could easily kill your cat.

I only let her go after it because I knew she would fail. She didn't even get close. I watched her the whole time.

Sound like a real CATastrophe.

Are you sure the dead mouse wasn't apart of the dream...

At least your cat cares about you and gives you "food" so you don't die, mine tries to attack me if I try to get a dead mouse away from him to throw it away xD my cat would rather me die ;-;
